Raymond Reddington Sentenced to Life for 1986 Murder of Wife in Perth

Parole will depend on revealing where Sharon Fulton's body is, prompting a fresh police appeal.

Overview

  • Reddington was sentenced Monday to life in prison with a 20-year minimum as the court heard his cancer and age mean he may die in custody.
  • Justice Joseph McGrath said he killed Sharon Fulton at their Duncraig home to avoid a costly divorce and to gain from a $120,000 life insurance policy in her name.
  • Under Western Australian law, he will not be considered for parole unless he discloses where he concealed her body.
  • WA Police urged the public to share any information that could locate her remains and said they will keep pursuing serious offenders regardless of time passed.
  • Her sons said they will keep searching for their mother's resting place following the conviction and sentence.
